I remember the first time I pulled a driveshaft. ATF flew out like a Tsunami of red slime directly in my face. Learned a valuable lesson that day!

 

If you jack up the back of the vehicle it helps to keep the tranny fluid in the tranny when you pull the drive shaft out

 

Yeah I know that now. My dad had me do it. I think it was a joke since the front of the car was jacked up. It was a BB 727 Torqueflight. I think that trans holds fluid by the gallon not the pint!

Thanks for the concern Stewart! I am surprised the EPA didn't fast rope into the driveway with natures broom and handcuffs!

 

Visit with your local seat shop. They can replace or add to the existing foam to give you the feel that you want with your existing seats. After sitting in the aftermarket seats in the Ex, and sitting in my wife's truck since she had her seats re-done, I'm going to at least the them to fix my driver seat up so it's nice and comfy. Much better than the replacement foam from Ford. (I already tried that).


That's a pretty good price. How many seats did you get for that? Just the front and console?

 

I've been so busy I forgot to do an update for yesterday.

I gave it a bath and shined it up nice, only for it to rain today. The water just beads right off of it, better than the black one, so at least it stays pretty clean looking when I don't have to drive it.

My dad decided to look into the rear wiper not working. When I turn on the switch, the solenoid in the rear window clicks, but no wiper go. No fluid comes out if I turn it that way either.

He took the plastic all off and pulled the motor out. He got it all apart, but found nothing significant wrong. He thought some of the grease by the cam/gearing might have been hard and causing the cam to be stuck. But he freed it (now the motor shaft can spin), but it still won't work with 12V direct to the battery or back plugged in. So it's back in for now, until I can go get the one from the wreck next weekend to fix it. It's not like it's the front wipers, so it's not real critical to have it fixed, nor do I plan to drive it in the rain soon. I'm guessing the motor on this one burned out trying to try turning that cam, or the electronic control module is just bad, but the motor itself didn't look like anything was wrong under the cover.

 

Put a chrome housing on my alternator and started cleaning in the engine compartment

 

Nice Eric. Whete are the build pics!

 

Just got my shipping notice from UPS that my F450 console is on it's way from RiffRaff! Yeah! Now it's time to bury myself in wiring hell!

 

Oops sorry. Don't have any pics with it apart... But have one with it together and installed.

 

Archtaan, those seats look great!

I moved mine today from one bay on the garage to the other. I am getting a drop of oil every time at the trans vent. There was all kinds of oil in the pockets and stuff from my o-ring adventure last year that I never cleaned out. I sucked up as much as I could with a shop vac and a 3/8" metal tube. Everything I can see, pedestal, turbo, ebpv, hpop fittings and lines, everything is dry. I will have to get under it and poke around.

 

Nice Eric!

I think I might see one or two small specs of dirt in the engine compartment!
